Dissertation on Fanfiction Bookbinding — Looking for participants! [EDIT: Thank you so much, participants found!!!]
[Edit continued: I'm still sorting through emails and setting up meetings, will reply to everyone very soon, I can't even begin to thank everyone enough for the visibility that's been given to this 💜 I'll keep the updates coming as I work on the dissertation (and learn how to bookbind), in case anyone would like to follow along. For any questions about the research or comments/suggestions/resources about ficbinding, my asks are wide open. Thank you thank you thank you!!!]
Hi! My name is Marie Chevrier, I’m currently doing my postgraduate dissertation on fanfiction bookbinding, and I’m looking for people to talk to about it!
If you’ve ever taken a fanfic from somewhere online and turned it into a physical copy, either for yourself or as a gift, I’d love to know more. From printer paper stapled together to typesetting and painted edges, nothing is too simple or too complex — I’m interested in the whole process, what motivates readers or authors to bring the story to a different format, and how it’s one more way to interact with stories actively and creatively. This will be the final project of my MLitt in Folklore and Ethnology with the Elphinstone Institute (University of Aberdeen, Scotland).
What to Expect
To participate, you must be 18 or older and speak English. I’ll give you more details and answer any questions you might have via email, and will then set up individual video calls with participants (if you happen to be in North-East Scotland, we could also meet at an agreed public location). I’ll tell you more about the dissertation and explain how what you share will be used, which depends entirely on what you agree to, including if you would prefer your contribution to be credited or anonymised. I will ask you about your experience with fanfiction bookbinding and if you have some examples to show me, I would love to see them! Meetings will last approximately 45–90 minutes and take place in June 2024. You have the right to withdraw your participation at any time.
Contact Information
If you’d like to participate or have any questions, please send me an email at [email protected]
To know more about the Elphinstone Institute, please visit https://www.abdn.ac.uk/elphinstone/
To know more about me, here's an intro post for you.
If for any reason you don’t wish to participate but still have comments/suggestions/resources/musings you’d like to send my way, please do!

Pa de pessic amb xocolata desfeta: spongy cake and hot chocolate. Photo from the recipe Instagram account el.raconet.de.la.carme.
Hot chocolate with brioche-style sweets has been very common in the Catalan Countries since the late 1600s. Nowadays, it's still popular to have it with family or friends over breakfast or berenar (mid-afternoon snack).
I have friends from the USA and from England, and they were surprised when they had hot chocolate here because it's thick. I was also surprised in the USA and England, because what they call "hot chocolate" is what I would call a "chocolate milkshake" (Cacaolat, Cola-cao, etc).
For this reason, I am curious. In your countries, is hot chocolate a completely liquid drink, or is it a thick drink you can both drink directly or with a spoon? Let me know in the tags or comments!

Zając ⦿ Hare ⦿ (Lepus) "Zającowi przypisywano również związki z siłami zła. Podejrzewano, że chętnie wcielają się w niego dusze zmarłych i demony. Na Podtatrzu i w Beskidach Zachodnich jego postać przybierał często topielec, który wabił człowieka aby go utopić, lub nawet sam szatan - prowadzący ludzi na bezdroża, aby zawładnąć ich duszą." ⦿⦿⦿ "Hares were also associated with evil forces. It was believed that the souls of the dead and demons willingly took on their form. In the Podhale region and the Western Beskids, it's figure was often taken on by a topielec, who lured people in order to drown them, or even Satan himself - leading people astray in order to take possession of their souls." - From "Góralskie czary.

Te Tauti (Porcupine) fish helmet https://collections.tepapa.govt.nz/object/267666
This is a warrior's helmet, made from the dried skin of a porcupine fish (Diodon sp., probably Diodon hystrix), lined with plaited pandanus strips. The skin is oriented so that the tail forms a peak at the back and the two fins form wings on either side. The lining has been partly plaited to fit, like a rounded basket, but then cut and overlapped in three places so that it fits snugly. The base is edged with a roll of plant fibre which has been neatly sewn to the edge of the skin with a blanket stitch in fine twisted cord of light and dark fibres.
